♪ you make me feel like i'm living a teenage dream ♪ >> the celebrations have started. >> are you excited to be here for the inauguration? [ cheers ] >> but the burning question remains, what and who will the first lady be wearing? ♪ my heart stops good morning. >> burning question. everybody wants to know what she'll be wearingment >> everyone is talking about that. by the way, this is january 20th. the constitution mandates that every four years on this day a new president must be sworn in so before noon in the blue room at the white house barack obama will take the oath of office in a small private ceremony. tomorrow the big public swearing in. coming up, we're going to talk to george stephanopoulos about how much the president can really get done in a second term. >> their ceremony will be a bit more subdued than a four years ago.

>> a little smaller. also new details about the alleged mastermind behind the fake dead girlfriend hoax involving college football star manti te'o. who is he, and has he ever done anything like this before? >> there's a lot of eerie similarities between the life of the alleged hoaxster and the character he is accused of inventing. you may have heard about the uproar over the stunning, shocking discovery that subway's footlong subs are sometimes shorter than advertised. ron claiborne is drawing up litigation as we speak. we were able to get an official response. from the company overnight. wait till you hear how they are playing this one. >> we are going to have food on set to test this out. but first new details are emerging about how the deadly stand off in algeria ended. a raid by algerian special forces with dozens dead including militants and hostages at least one of whom we know is an american. abc's brian ross has been working his sources and joins us from washington with more. what do we know? >> reporter: good morning.

of the ten americans at the bp facility, seven got out but at least one died and the fate of two others is of growing concern this morning in the wake of the bloody attempts by the algerian army to rescue them from their al qaeda captors. the algerian army's final assault came after four days in which the hostages were held under the threat of death by the terrorists. the army recaptured the bp-run facility but not before the terrorists apparently executed the remaining seven hostages. over the course of the siege, 23 hostages died. >> for our people in algeria, for their family and their friends has been and continues to be a distressing and horrific time. >> reporter: two americans 58-year-old fred buttaccio of remain unaccounted for, and a third has been identified as killed, 58-year-old fred buttaccio of suburban houston. the attackers focused only on americans and westerners including a large british contingent. >> tragically we now know three british nationals have been killed and a further three are believed to be dead, and also a

further british resident is also believed to be dead. >> reporter: the good news most of the approximately 100 western workers were freed or escaped. algerian tv aired what it said was home video taken by one hostage as a group of them made their escape across the desert often past bodies. the algerian military said it killed at least 32 of the terrorists, their bodies displayed on algerian tv. officials said the terrorists were heavily armed with automatic weapons and explosive pack suicide belts and were preparing to blow up the natural gas facility. even though the u.s. had asked the algerians to go slow president obama in a statement said "the blame for this tragedy rests with the terrorists who carried it out." the president said "the attack is a reminder of the threat posed by al qaeda in africa," which clearly bianna and dan becomes a new and dangerous front in the battle against a terror group that found a new place to kill innocent americans. >> a lot waking up to this.

brian, thank you for your reporting this morning. now that the fatal finale of this is behind us, the survivors aree telling us about bombs strapped around necks thrown to hospitals across europe one in southern italy where abc's nick schifrin is this morning. nick, good morning. >> reporter: survivors suffered through four days of sheer terror and some are just beginning to recuperate at this nato base. they were beaten, tied up and saw their colleagues executed. the survivors are shocked and shaken. >> it happened so fast. >> reporter: they witnessed horrifying scenes and had to walk past their dead colleagues' bodies. and one foreigner was used as bait to lure his co-workers out before being shot. steven mcfall had his mouth taped and had to wear explosives taped to his chest. others like mark grant hid for 80 hours and scrambled up on the roof or locked themselves inside their rooms.

>> we barricaded together in one of the offices, we lock the door and we put a desk on the door. we did a barricade. >> reporter: when they got out, joy and relief. >> when the guys who picked us up, the rescue guys were wonderful. we were like long lost friends. >> reporter: one survivor's family says they have been through hell and when one son heard his father was alive, it was the best news he'd ever heard. dan? >> nick schifrin, thank you. >> bianna, over to you. >> terrifying week. we'll turn now to the countdown to president obama's second inauguration. tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will watch the president take the oath of office on the steps of the capitol but today he'll be sworn in officially at a private ceremony in the white house and david kerley joins us from washington. good morning to you, david. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. washington's already filling up with visitors to see him take the oath and actually have a little fun and party.

♪ yeah >> reporter: for some lucky kids, the party started last night. ♪ yeah, yeah >> reporter: the kids' inaugural balance had some of the kids from "glee" and katy perry. ♪ you make me feel like >> reporter: later today as mandated on january 20th the president will take the oath before noon. but that will be in the white house. then tomorrow on the steps of the capitol -- >> i barack hussein obama -- >> reporter: -- on martin luther king's birthday will take it again honoring king and his favorite president abraham lincoln. >> the fate of human dignity in our hands, now, now, now. >> reporter: mr. obama will place his hand on two bibles, one that king used, one that lincoln used. ♪ then it's the parade. the route has been secured. the floats are ready to roll down pennsylvania avenue. ♪ this girl is on fire >> reporter: while there will ly be two inaugural balls, they are star studded. alicia keyes, brad

paisley, jennifer hudson. ♪ and i waited for you but you never showed ♪ >> reporter: but before all the pomp and parties, the president took part again in what he calls the national day of service. >> this inauguration should also be an affirmation that we're all in this together. >> reporter: so the first family grabbed some paintbrushes at a local elementary school. >> i need to get some power tools. >> reporter: already the people's lawn is seeing plenty of visitors. >> we love president obama. whoo! >> reporter: i got to tell you there were a lot of folks out last night already having a good time. they've got a couple more nights to go here in washington, d.c. the official ceremony is actually starting in just another hour or so and the vice president will take his oath at the naval observatory where he leads -- lives rather. justice sotomayor, excuse me, will deliver that to the vice president. >> just to make clear, you only heard reports of people partying. this is not something you witnessed firsthand.

>> reporter: dan, i had to get up really early, so, no, i wasn't walking the streets with friends in town to see the inauguration, no, not at all. >> viciously detailed. david kerley, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> a beautiful day there in washington. >> the inauguration is usually one day of pomp and celebration before the politicians are fighting again. so let's go to george stephanopoulos in washington, d.c., to host "this week" and anchor our live abc news coverage of the inauguration. george, good morning to you. >> hey, guys. >> the president has a huge agenda for his second term. one of the big things on the agenda is, of course, gun control. across america on saturday we saw these pro-gun rallies, just really one sign of the amount of resistance this president is going to face in many parts of his agenda. the question is how much is he likely able to get done during this second term with lame duck status looming? >> yeah, and you've got to do it fast. you've only got 18 months to get something done in the second term. remember, before newtown in december, gun control wasn't

even at the center of the president's agenda for the second term. now he promised with the full weight of his office behind those measures but it's going to be an uphill fight in congress, dan. you've got a lot of democratic senators already resisting the president's plans, almost certain that the assault weapon ban that the president is calling for will not pass the congress. what they're hoping for, though, is that they can get some consensus coalesced at least around this idea that there should be universal background checks but even that will be difficult, and as i said at the top, speed matters here. the president's power starts to slip away with every month that goes by in a second term and there's so much to do. >> george, there's so much to do. he still faces an unresolved fiscal situation and looks like republicans may be extending the debt ceiling by a few months but still has major budget cuts to deal with this spring. do you see his relationship with republicans improving at all as they try to fix this crisis? >> it is going to be a real confrontation. the republicans did blink.

that's exactly right, bianna, and said they don't want this over the debt limit that was supposed to hit in february and extend it, as he said, probably until april. the president will sign that which gives them a space to try to come up again with some kind of big budget deal before those across-the-board budget cuts hit in march, and the government is set to shut down at the end of march. there is no question that these big fiscal issues, taxes and spending are going to define the first quarter of the president's second term. >> george, talk about this term, the second term curse. we -- reagan had iran-contra. nixon, of course, had watergate. clinton had monica lewinsky. but why is it that they tend to go sour. >> lyndon johnson didn't even make it to the second term. he had to resign because of vietnam. ever since roosevelt and the amendment that limited his terms, presidents tend to run out of steam and maybe even get tripped up by scandal in these second terms. i think it's kind of a natural reaction to the fact that power is moving on beyond these presidents because, in fact, they are lame ducks. the obama white house has

studied this very, very closely. they know the perils of the second term. they think they can avoid the worst pitfalls. first of all, they are saying there's no scandals on the horizon, but they say they can avoid the worst by having a focused agenda and moving fast. >> we'll see if they can. george, thank you very much. george will have a special inauguration edition of "this week" this morning. white house senior adviser david plouffe is on the show plus a special guest, eva longoria. >> ah, stay with abc news and "gma" for continuing coverage of inauguration 2013. we'll be live tomorrow beginning at 7:00 a.m. with george and josh elliott co-anchoring a special edition of "good morning america" from washington. but we're going to turn now to some very dramatic video and we want to warn you, some viewers may find this hard to watch. a failed assassination attempt that played out on stage in front of a large audience. a prominent political leader was speaking when he suddenly had a gun pointed at his face. what happened next may be pure luck. abc's alex marquardt has the story.

>> reporter: the would-be assassin bounded across the stage raising his gun to shoot. he couldn't fire and was instantly thrown to the ground. kicks and punches raining down. others stood over the gas pistol. a self-defense weapon that can be deadly at such a close range. it's still unclear this morning why the 25-year-old bulgarian turkish man attacked famous politician ahmed dogan, longtime leader that represents bulgaria's turks and muslims. "right now we're working on finding out everything about the attacker" says the interior minister. samples were taken to see if there were drums in his system. a mystery how he got in. on top of the gun he had two knives, as well as a criminal background, the rest for drugs possession and robbery. dogan was announcing his retirement when he was attacked. this morning the police say he's fine but many questions remain. for "good morning america," i'm alex marquardt in new york.

>> it's unbelievable video. that politician is very lucky. >> he is, indeed. time to check in with ron claiborne for the other stories this morning. >> that's a pretty wild story there. good morning to you, bianna and dan. good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news overnight on a scare involving boeing's new 787 dreamliner. they believe two different incidents with the battery had different causes further complicating the investigation. mark greenblatt has details. >> reporter: investigators announced overnight they now do not believe that the battery that caught fire on a parked 787 was overcharged, something that is thought to have happened on another plane. now, look at what's left of one of those lithium batteries that we're talking about. on the left it's completely charged. a problem that forced passengers on one plane to fly down emergency chutes after last week's event smelling smoke in midair, and recently there was a fire on a plane in boston. but now that battery and other battery fires appear to have different causes. it could complicate boeing's attempts to return the

dreamliner to the air as investigators widen their search for a root cause. now, the 787s were grounded before any accidents occurred, but the recent fires had led some aviation experts to call for changes at the faa, questioning if the way the agency currently approves planes is keeping up with fast-moving technology, ron. >> okay, mark, thanks very much for that report on the continuing woes of the 787 dreamliner. and five people were injured in three separate accidental shootings at gun shows on saturday. people were forced to run for cover after two bystanders were hurt at a show in north carolina when a shotgun discharged as its owner took the gun out of the case. the other incidents were in ohio and indiana. none of the injuries is life-threatening though. and new details this morning about that u.s. navy ship that ran aground on a coral reef in the philippines. the navy says the "uss guardian minesweeper" was using a faulty map that had the reef in the wrong spot. all 79 officers and crew have

now left the ship after two days trying to free it. and one of the greatest players in baseball history has died. hall of famer stan musial, who won seven batting titles, three mvps, and his team won three world series in 22 years that he spent with the cardinals. he has died. stan the man served in world war ii and was awarded the presidential medal of freedom by president obama a couple of years ago. musial is remembered as a true gentleman. he was 92 years of age. finally, talk about taking the plunge. a kayaker survived this -- check it out -- scary 100-foot drop. can you see him toss his paddle shortly going over the edge and plunging into the water. ozone falls has been called the holy grail of the southeast by kayakers and had never been before attempted. by comparison, niagara falls is 167 feet. and we have a special announcement.

our own intrepid ginger zee is going to go over the falls live on this show next week. good luck, ginger. >> thanks, ron. >> we have a backup waiting. >> he did that on purpose? >> he did it on purpose. bold. >> all right. thank you, ron. now to the kindergarten student branded a terrorist. she was expelled from her school in pennsylvania for threatening to shoot another kid. the weapon, this hello kitty bubble gun. abc's gio benitez, our newest correspondent, is here with the story. welcome to weekends. you brought a prop. >> one like this one. you know, dan, the school took it so seriously, administrators ordered she receive a psychological evaluation all for talking about a bubbles gun like this one. this morning the family plans to sue the school to get this all off the child's permanent record. was this the weapon of choice for a new kind of terrorist? terror by bubbles. the small pink hello kitty toy gun is an automatic bubble blower, but just days ago when a

5-year-old girl said she and a classmate should shoot each other with bubbles, the school calls it a terrorist threat. >> i think people know how harmless a bubble is. it doesn't hurt. >> it's just bubbles. it can't harm anybody. >> it's only a bubble gun. for a 5-year-old. >> reporter: administrators at mt. carmel area elementary in rural pennsylvania took action suspending the girl for ten days, later reducing that to two. the family's lawyer says a psychological evaluation calls the girl normal, but now her record isn't. >> the mother has tried to get the girl in another school since this time, and they won't take the little girl because of this mark on her record. >> reporter: the attorney says the girl did not have the hello kitty bubbles gun with her, so was this all a big misunderstanding? after all, it's a new world where parents and school administrators are on heightened alert after the mass shooting in newtown, connecticut. >> she's not aware of what

connecticut is, what death is, what shooting is. >> reporter: the school district superintendent told abc news, "we are confident that much of the information supplied to the media may not be consistent with the facts." he went on to say "the district takes the well-being and safety of students and staff very seriously." and if you haven't seen how one of these works, that's what it does. it just blows bubbles. now, the family's attorney says all mom wants is an apology from the school and wants the incident off the school's record, off the girl's school record. and you know what, really we don't know exactly what she said but we got to remember she's only 5 years old. >> good point. gio, thank you. gio benitez, our newest correspondent, thank you. now the cybilling rivalry on the sideline that could come to a boil during the biggest nfl game. >> if the 49ers and ravens win they go to the super bowl.

coached by brothers, jim and john harbaugh, just 15 months apart. abc's john schriffen is on the story. >> pretty fierce. they don't face off today but could be at the super bowl. all right, so harbaugh's parents are faced with a really tough decision today. do they go to atlanta to watch their son jim coach the 49ers or do they go to new england to watch their other son john coach the ravens? well, not wanting to pick sides mom and dad will reportedly watch at home with no distractions rooting for both to make it to the big game. brothers jim and john harbaugh, separated by just 15 months, on the verge of facing off on the biggest stage in sports. this is one problem for the two nfl head coaches. jim's san francisco's 49ers and john's baltimore ravens both have to win on the road to get to the super bowl in new orleans. >> who's got it better than us. >> all: nobody! >> reporter: considered two of the best at what they do, not everyone is a fan of their

in-your-face style. father jack harbaugh coached at some of the biggest college football programs in the country. when his boys were born, they were with him every step of the way. >> the better team won the football team. >> reporter: after spending a years as an assistant coach, older brother john got his first head coaching job with the ravens in 2008 becoming the only head coach to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons. younger brother jim was a quarterback in the nfl for more than a decade for landing the head coaching job with the 49ers in 2011. >> i accept this competitive challenge willingly. >> reporter: now older, they both share coaching strategies, but today they're in very unique situations. according to the latest odds out of las vegas, the 49ers are actually favored to win by four points or more over the falcons, good news for jim. as for john, well, he's a 7 1/2-point underdog to the new england patriots. a tough task to pull off. well, if they both do win today

and make it to the super bowl, it wouldn't be the first time they're facing off in the nfl. back on thanksgiving in 2011, john's ravens beat jim's 49ers, 16-6. i'm sure jim would love revenge in the super bowl. >> how fun, the parents. john, thank you. let's check the forecast and ginger zee. good morning. >> i have a huge headline. dangerous cold settling into the northern plains and great lakes. eventually going to make its way to the northeast. frostbite can happen in less than ten minutes when your skin is exposed to 30 below windchills and it's going to happen here. already happened in some places. temperature in minneapolis, 0. and the feel likes are even colder. this is just the beginning of arctic air. feels like 16 below in minneapolis. 19 below for st. cloud and all of that air kind of settling in and it's not going anywhere. look at the high temperature. high temperature in minneapolis, haven't done that for four years, subzero. washington, d.c. included, i'll have an inauguration forecast coming up, but first look at this, wind gusts will make it feel even colder, 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts up

his own real life. this morning new details about the alleged catfish maestro orchestrating that elaborate hoax spanning manti te'o's entire college career. in his interview with espn, te'o says this man, ronaiah tuiasosopo called him on monday and confessed the woman he called the love of his life was a figment of tuiasosopo 's imagination. three months after he killed off lennay kekua's character, he and the woman who spent countless hours on the phone with te'o acting as lennay kekua called te'o. the jig was up. >> said, it's lennay, and so we carried on that conversation and i just got mad and i just went on a rampage. >> reporter: lennay kekua was imaginary but tuiasosopo's alleged script for his imaginary character suffered a coma in a car crash then died of

leukemia mirrored his own reality. one eerie example, tuiasosopo 's father posted on facebook that his son and his band survived a horrific car accident last march and even more bizarre, at about the same time the fake lennay was diagnosed with leukemia, tuiasosopo 's real-life cousin was diagnosed with the disease. tuiasosopo had a knack for tugging at heartstrings. ♪ carry on my wayward son >> reporter: during an audition for the singing competition "the voice" he reportedly came up with a similar sob story about a near fatal crash that left another cousin nearly brain dead. last night we tried to catch up with tuiasosopo 's neighbors still reeling from the scandal. >> i'm so surprised like out of all the people in the world there were a lot of people i would assume would cause it. >> reporter: adding to the confusion, the voice of lennay kekua, manti te'o's girlfriend called him up revealing it was a hoax then hinted she wanted a real relationship with him.

"this bread is clearly not baked to our standards." later a post on a subway facebook site said "subway footlong is a registered trademark as a descriptive name for the name sold in subways and not intended to be a measure of length," but long not intended to be a measure of length. what would jared say about that? confused, i pressed on and interviewed the head of baking for subway restaurants worldwide. >> they're following the baking procedures and should get the 12 inches out of the oven every single time. >> reporter: what procedures, i asked repeatedly for specifics but didn't get very far. >> that's what we strive for, consistency and get 12 inches of bread every time they come out of an oven. >> reporter: we'll blow the lid off this and see who measures up. four subway footlongs and rulers and tape measures.
